[Richard Stallman]

[I sent this message a month ago but did not get a response.]

Would someone please fix this bug, if it still exists, in Emacs 22 and
the trunk, then ack?

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Running change-log-redate on a ChangeLog file which 
contains strings like:
 
 Tue Jan  9 07:20:05 WST 2007 John Darrington <address@hidden>

Changes them to 

 1999-11-30  WST 2007 John Darrington <address@hidden>

which is not what I expected.
